mmmm chocolate eclairs. been trying to work out what to eat ALL DAY and I think Ive spotted it.

Is anyone else who is on the first baby getting a bit of a belly on them? I am only 7.3 and ive got a noticeable pot. normally im pretty small and it is REALLY noticeable.

trying to take my mind of my viability scan tomorrow. im not from the UK so been going to a private clinic. i assume i need to register at a doctor at some point but i havent the foggiest how!

scared1976 · 27/05/2008 20:46

PS - there is a FEBRUARY thread did you see! we arent the newbies anymore

Teuch · 27/05/2008 20:55

Hullo all - sorry, I am terrible at keeping up with hreads

Sorry to hear so many feeling down. I find this is really the hardest stretch but it's good to have the support here.

Good news from me is that I heard baby's hb on the doppler a couple of days ago - very early so I was very surprised

Tink - good luck with MW.

Lennie - I was the latest of my RL antenatal group but DS arrived first...a month early!!

MsSparkle · 27/05/2008 21:01

mel sorry to hear your feeling so down. I hope you feel better tomorrow

tink good luck tomorrow with the midwife. I have the midwife too so fingers crossed.

My sickness has passed now thank god. I just feel really tired again You know when you have to play with your dd but all you want to do is go to bed!

LooseyC · 27/05/2008 22:12

LenniEd - we have to pay £180 for the nuchal scan as well, worse luck. We have decided to do it again this time - luckily we can spare the cash at the moment but must be loads who can't. On the plus side it was very professional last time, great quality, done by consultant so very reassuring, lots of free piccies and didn't have to do the full bladder thing!

Am relieved that lots of others are feeling as huge as me so early. Was worrying about swimsuit on hols but it's raining there apparently so good and bad!

scared1976 - I was the same first time round. I had loads of people saying 'this isn't your first is it? I can tell' - and I had seats given to me on public transport at about 3 months! Having said that I didn't get really massive till right near the end so it may be the same for you.

lh1974 - thanks for the book recommendation, just been looking at it on Amazon and think will get it. Will it scare me?

Good luck to everyone with appointments - will check in again next week!

RambleOn · 27/05/2008 23:18

Can I join your gang please. Got a positive a few weeks ago, and it's just sinking in that it's real

Have added my name to the list on 13th Jan.

Hi, congrats all on pregnancies for 09! Hope ok to join your thread and to seek some advice and thoughts...I found out last week that I am pregnant with second baby (first is Charlie, he is 14 months). due date 29th Jan. Bit weird as had a light period then thought something wrong and did a test and positive! Spotted brown blood on and off all of last week. Saw the GP but he said go away and if you get a positive test at 6 weeks (that's next Wednesday) then come back to me, otherwise you've lost it! Feeling very stressed about the whole thing as have had two early miscarriages before Charlie. Doing pregnancy test every day and getting stronger - this second baby already costing me a fortune! Has anybody else this with first or later preg? Not feeling any signs yet but only 5 weeks today - anybody else any early signs?

mel2005 · 28/05/2008 09:33

hi and welcome tobemory, fingers crossed for you. i didnt have many early signs but do feel really sick now(7+weeks) there is nothing you can do so just relax and see what happens. i think the stronger results are a good sign. i have read that some people on here had bleeding on and off through the nine months.
hugs

Hi Tobemory - we're due date buddies!

I don't have many signs yet. I am very tired though. The best way to describe the feeling is as if I have had a night without much sleep, and if I did climb into bed right now, I think I could sleep for a couple of hours. Last time around (ds is 4) I was working out of the home, so had to be awake and up for it at work, but then I fell asleep most nights straight after dinner. This time around, I can relax more, so I think I'm staying the distance a bit better in the evening. And with it being half-term too, I am having a lie-in in the mornings as ds is happy to watch TV in bed with me for an hour or so. It will hit me next week going back to the school run.

I don't really have very sore boobs, and haven't had many stretching pains in the womb, but I'm just trying to take it one day at a time.

I'm seeing close family today, and it will be so hard not to tell them, and I'm not really decided on whether I should or not. Has anyone else shared their news yet?

elkiedee · 28/05/2008 10:17

Welcome Tobemory - my stepsister has a baby called Charlie who is 14 months old! Your situation sounds hard, all that waiting, I hope it's ok. My dp (short for "partner") is getting a bit fed up with my fretting at the moment.

fymandbean · 28/05/2008 10:25

I would definitely go for a 12 week scan.... good thing they are free in our area! what a pain though for those who have to pay...

Boobs enormous, as is belly. nausea there but ok at the moment. Looks like this pregnancy is very similar to my last one...bet I'm having another boy !

I'm not telling anyone (apart from my mum) until I'm 12 weeks. I had a friend recently who told before her 12 wk scan, then found out it was downs and had some serious abnormalities and had to have a termination - she then had to tell everyone what happened

ps - am really missing salad cream am so addicted to it. Mayo just isn't the same....

Upwind · 28/05/2008 10:54

Why can't we have salad cream

I was just told to cut out alcohol, soft cheese, raw fish, pate and liver. Is there more I should be avoiding?

largeginandtonic · 28/05/2008 10:54

Why cant you eat salad cream? It is made with pasteurised eggs like shop bought mayo.

largeginandtonic · 28/05/2008 10:56

I eat everything by the way, on my last antenatal thread we had a lovely lady from France who could regularly be seen posting with her mouth full of pate In France they let you eat the cheese and the pate and have a glass of vino...

We have chickens in the garden so i eat soft boiled eggs too as i know my ladies are salmonella free.
